Staff Reporter | New Delhi
St Stephen's officiating principal Valson Thampu on Tuesday said that of the proposed 40 per cent reservation for Christians in the college, 25 percent would be earmarked for Dalit Christians. This, said Thampu, has been done to help the poor among the Christian. Thampu believes that his decision on increasing the reservation from 30 to 40 per cent is likely to sail through at the Supreme Council meeting on Tuesday.

St Stephen's: Murder In The Cathedral?

It is important to note here that while St Stephen's was founded by Christians, it is funded by the state. According to the Union ministry of education, fully 95 per cent of the expenses of the college are met by the University Grants Commission. Why should a college that draws so heavily on the public exchequer be allowed to choose 40 per cent of its students from 2 per cent of the country's population? The new policies are claimed by their proponents to be 'legal', but they are surely unethical
